SAT-9 7th GradeWriting Test- Please help

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

My son is at his middle school on a transfer and not eligible for an IEP, but we have been muddling along somewhat with just 504 accommodations. Because he can’t get resource help, we opt for him not to take the three days of SAT-9 tests later this month. However, he has a SAT-9 writing test coming up that apparently all 7th graders have to take. The teacher has made it clear that this is a 60-minute test with absoultely no breaks. This may as well be a death sentence for my son as there is no way he can sit at anything for 60 minutes without a break, particularly something he dislikes as much as writing. Does anyone know if there is anything we can ask for as far as accommodations? We also wondered about simply opting out of this as well. What do you think?
